5 Questions to Ask Before Starting Any Project

💬 5 Questions to Ask Before Starting Any Project

Many projects fail before they even begin because no one asked the right questions at the start.

This early stage is called gathering requirements - talking with your team, customers, or manager to understand what the project needs before any work starts.

Our 5 go-to questions when gathering requirements:

• What is the primary objective of this project?

• Who are the main stakeholders, and what are their roles and responsibilities?

• Who are the end users?

• What is the success criteria?

• Are there any technical constraints or limitations we need to be aware of?
